Girl, see, with ball that’s burst (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salvo

'burst' is the definition.
('salvo' can be a synonym of 'burst')

'girl see with ball' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'sal' (feminine given name**).
'see' becomes 'v' (Latin 'vide', used to direct a reader to a source).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ball' becomes 'o'.
'sal'+'v'+'o'='SALVO'

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for salvo that I've seen before include "A number of shots" , "Discharge of gunfire" , "Artillery salute" , "Rapid simultaneous discharge of firearms" , "Ceremonial shots" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
